MIR Jesse H.. jackson, the
genis1 station agent aud postmaster
at Orange Grove, called to e US
Wednesday while here shaking
the bands of his constituents.
Judge jackson sounds well. In a
word, Mr.. Jackson is a candidate for
Justice of the Peace. He is as good
a man for the place as could be
found and we will take occasion to
say in this connection that it
should be borne in mind that two
Justices are to be elected in this
district and 1t Is the intention Of
the law aud eminently proper and
right that one of them reside at
Orange Grove. Each voter is to
vote for two-ohe for Scranton aud
one fo+ Orange Grove.

Resolved, That in view Of the depres-
sion in business, low prices Of pr oducts,
we consider that an Increase of teachers
salaries was uncalled for. a discrimi-
nation between town and country in the
matter of salary we condemn, and the
levy for building purposes far exceeds
the demand. We respectfully ask said
Board of Education of Shepherdstown
District, seeing it is not too late, as no
contracts have been made with the
teachers, to reconsider their action, and
reduce the said salaries to consistent
amount, making due consideration for
the Principal of the Graded School at
Shepherdstown
w. J. KNOTT, Chairman.
